I've popped beans in response to being stressed out the same way I'd grab a drink.
I'm running lights at night and I miss being able to just peak in on the girls during the day.
I tried the night cycle once too and hated it for that same reason (guessing your getting too cold winter nights huh?).. I'm always tinkering with them, either with LST, or trimming some dead fan leaves, and my night time green light just doesn't cut it..
I wish I had the room to just pop beans when I'm stressed haha.
I'm pretty sure I'm only into cultivating for the end game.
Yeah, I love watching a tiny seed go from nothing to a plant in bloom as much as the next guy, but the back left corner of my garden is littered with the rotting carcases of dead common house plants I forgot to water/feed. Had they started spouting miniature bottles of malt whisky or dollar bills at every node, I'm convinced most of them would've still been alive today.

Lol, that is pretty funny and I do see where your coming from. It is pretty badass that you can just grow pounds of dank bud that is worth thousands of dollars.
Me on the other hand though... My entire house is filled to the brim with every plant you can imagine haha, I am kind of a plant nerd. All given the same attention I give to my MJ..
But I also grow a lot of bonsai, which can also be quite lucrative. I make a good bit of money off those as well.
Some are in it for the buds, and then there are just plant people, to each his own! I like everything green
